Of course.  Some people suspected a "user error" at first, though. 
:-)

Anyway, I wasn't reporting a bug anymore,  I found the probable 
cause in the TimeStamp module, in the meantime, and reported 
that findings, and a way to fix it, here.

PS: people have asked my for the modified TimeStamp module in 
(TimeStamp.pyd on my NT system) in private mail, but I'd prefer to 
have them wait for an "official" fix.  Poking around in the object data 
base source isn't something to take lightly.
